This link was E-mailed to me the other day.
Sorry if it has been posted before, I could not find it with a search.

I loved it.
Must be tough to have to wring out a Spit like that AND GET PAID FOR DOING IT!!!!

I don’t know which one I should be drooling over more....the girl or the planes? I need to get my priorities straight once and for all!

Dear lord,

I have to say, the only good thing was the Spits. Everything else was... well... too cheesy for me. The CG wasn't too good. And the stocking thing.... hmm...

In any case... gotta love the Spitfires.

I gotta say... hiring John Malkovich, contracting with the Chino gang, filming in Zurich, Boston, and Murietta, CA... this was NOT a cheap commercial!

All to sell a silly watch!

But Mike...They don't have guns and that doesn't look like any trigger mechanism I've ever seen on a Spit. (Or anything else for that matter.)
I will accede to your greater knowledge of a/c than mine, however.

Mudge the novice :oops:

ps. Ryan...When you consider what they get for those watches, they can afford it.

yes, it's been posted before. some nice flying, but pretty lame content. malchovich must need the money pretty bad to slum for a comercial for an actor of his quality!!

Hmmm,

Shannon and I were in the lobby at the Fairmont Copley Plaza on sunday afternoon. I had no idea that was the hotel in the video since I had never been in the hotel before. We were driving around town with a friend of ours after having given up on our attempt to get into the line for the tour of the JFK. We had just come from the theater district and drove by Davio's, a restaurant that we had reservations for for tomorrow, Its Boston's Restaurant week this week. After pointing out where we were going for lunch on wednesday, Dave pulled up in front of the hotel and asked if we had ever been inside. I replied that I should probably go look for a restroom while I'm in there then huh?

So we walked through that lobby just a few days ago to use the bathroom, and we were leaving right around the time that one of the Boston diving expo people set a fire in a trashcan somewhere. It Stunk!

Nice place!
